Dogs are not only the most loyal and devoted animals. The fact is that they also help improve human immunity.

American scientists spoke about this in more detail for the NPR portal.

Experts have stated that even short-term communication with dogs has a positive effect on the health of people. In this case, the stress level drops, but the hormone that promotes a good mood increases.

As a result, the nervous system and immunity improve.

It is noteworthy that a similar effect is observed in pets.

The researchers also added that a person who raises a dog has improved heart function and increased physical activity.

Communication with an animal also has a positive effect on a person’s mental state, since it provides communication and consistency, which makes owners feel loved and needed.

Further work will continue to prove such findings.
